Scott Noble from Peavey presents the 6505 MH amplifier with the help of Sweetwater's Don Carr. After the video, click the link above for even more info on the Peavey 6505 MH tube amp head.
Buy this amp with a Maxon OD808 or a Tube Screamer. Cut the gain, boost the volume, keep the tone moderate, and you'll get the best metal sound ever. Forget the Metal Zone, and just distortion pedals in general.
i used to hate distortion pedals but now i have a mxr fullbore metal and love it with my micro terror. but prob gunna get this to have more amp gain soon
OR...
Run Channel 1 semi-clean with a Rat distortion in front of it. Instant 80s/90s hard rock.
just distortion pedals in general? cranked Boss HM-2 chainsaw says hi
I use a East River od through the lead channel and an isp decimator 2 then a boss 7 band eq through the effects loop. My setup has a ton of low mid so i scoop out the 400hz in a check looking type setting with the 3.2k the highest (+4db) then drop the 6.4k a notch. Badass...
MXR distortion+ is damn good. Not only Iron Maiden classic, but I get your point.
The EVH LB Amps are great ( I played one over the weekend ) but I think these are a level above those. The Peavey is more articulate sounding, more versatile, includes a Reverb, and these just overall have a higher-quality sound that the EVH can't match. Well done Hartley :)
Agreed, I've owned both and really feel the Peaveys still sound the best by far, whether lunchbox or full 120/100, Ed should have hired James Brown to design the EVH stuff because everything he did for Peavy is amazing. He also designed the Kustom Double Cross and later the Schecter amps.
Much more, it`s a full tube audio interface! the best buddy for home recording
Imagine if they made one like that, only bigger.
Genuine Chocolate Face Man and get a huge name behind it and they'd sell like hot cakes... I wonder who they could get known for branding himself with 4 numbers...
***** You fail at seeing the joke.
*****
Bruh, do you even, DO YOU EVEN BRO?
+Genuine Chocolate Face i dunno if peavey could handle making a full size amp they should stick to the mini's
+alvarg aaah Van Halen used there famous 5150 amp for years
PRS custom + peavey 6505 = absolute win
great little rig. I just bought a 6505 112 plus combo and I love it. if your in to a good metal, classic rock sound, this amp is perfect for it. 5 pre amp tubes and 2 -6L6 power tubes.
+chuck jones too loud for bedrooms
+alvarg yes...why yes it is..lol. it can also benefit from a speaker upgrade, im not sold on the stock shefield speaker.
chuck jones i wouldn't be either, i've tried the 6505+ 112 in store and wasn't impressed with the 6505MH i can use a 1x12 or 2x12 or 4x12 cab, headphones or simulated speaker out. plus its also cheaper than the combo and sounds exactly the same to me
+alvarg the micro head is definitely the way to go. I bought it plus the Peavey 2x12 cab loaded with Celestion Greenbacks and it's KILLER.
Just like I hoped, this sounds fantastic. All the more as this vid shows how great 6505s sound for things other than subterranean tunings and chugging metal. Not that they don't do that better than anything else, just not necessarily what they were designed for. A happy accident for death metal! But seriously, these amps are far more versatile than the "5150/6505s only do one sound but do it well" people give them credit for. They do indeed do many sounds and styles VERY well, and this 20 watter can wear the name proudly!!
Sounds like a proper 6505! Was afraid it wouldn't being a mini head and all. Can't wait until it comes out!
Man, that is one sweet little amp! I haven't been this excited about an amp since Marshall released the Class 5! :)
Great explanation,playing variety of tones and what amp can do non existing.
I have one on pre-order and I can't wait.
Eddie sure did help Peavey and every other company that could get there hands on him
I have one... fantastic amp to record at home... small stages works very well...
Very impressed I'm going to buy one
Yes, andy T, there's a "mini cab" for this head. You can see it here: www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/6505PlusM112
Is there a way to record directly out of it without the speaker cabinet simulation on it? I would be very interested if that were possible because I would like to use external IR in my DAW.
Keeley compressor plus into an overdrive really tightens this thing up. You dont need the gain past 4!
Sounds like the original 5150 amp. Nice.
I like the 1 watt option. Good for a bedroom player.
T FP and how did you connect it?? Cabinet??
Use a keeley compressor plus and an od in front!
You can run it through the board, but if your playing
Auditoriums, setting up a quarter wall of cabs, probably
have a roadie or 10. Sound has come a long way.
I noticed this amp doesn’t have a volume knob, how do u raise the volume on this??
killer riff at the beginning!
Sounds nice through a 412 cab, but I'm interested in hearing what it sounds like through the 112 cab made to accompany this head. I don't want to have to buy a 412 cab for this amp.
you made the amp sound bigger running it thru a Peavey 4x12 .Id like to hear it thru a 1x12 or a 2x12
Nice avatar.
Is it me or does the youtube compression negate what they're trying to prove with the resonance control?
Nice demo, is there a mini cab?
yes its a 1x12
Why run it through a 4x12. Most ppl that buy a mini aren't gonna cart around a 4x12?
It happens, I see people gig running Dual Terrors and Dark Terrors 16ohms on a 4x12. But the convenience of this amp with a 2x12 would be nice.
You can get a nice 4x12 much cheaper than a nice amp head, that's how it was for me anyway ha
I couldn't hear much difference when the 'Resonance' control was changed. The 'Presence' control was noticeable though.
Can we plug in directly into a focusrite or some thing like this for recording?
Yeah. And it also has an USB output!
Sweet! Cuz I just bought this head, with the 2x12 cabinet.
But I have a focusrite interface for recording, so this is good to know.
My amp arrives next week.
Can I use it directly with headphones without a cab?
The simple answer is yes.
so my TS1 and TS2 are both blinking and I'm not getting any volume. The manual says to replace the tube once they go red, but do I need to get new ones in this to solve the problem?
Wait. Instead of having a single foot switch with four buttons, they created two foot switch inputs on the back for two separate foot switches that do different things? Really?
Can you use the first channel as a total clean channel and make it to a crunch channel with the switch? Or has it to be slightly driven to achieve this?
Jesus, grow some enthusiasm…
Amen.....See what I did there...
Wait. How do you know how much enthusiasm Jesus has? Did you meet him?
Ironically, "enthusiasm" actually means “inspiration or possession by a god.”
Enthusiasm entered the English language around the beginning of the 17th century. It was borrowed from the Greek enthousiasmos, meaning “inspiration or possession by a god.” For the first two hundred or so years that it was used in English, enthusiasm was primarily employed to refer to beliefs or passions that related to religion. By the beginning of the 18th century, however, the word began to be used to describe having strong feelings or interest in secular matters.
See what YOU did there?! ;)
@@mattlehde588 Thanks. I always needed this lesson.
Sorry, they are blinking green if that helps.
what cab do you use in this vid ?
Thanks - btw. sounds great.
Hi +HEGuitarTracks! The cab in this video is a Peavey Valve King. You can find it here: www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/ValveK412Sl. Thanks for watching!
What 1-12 cabinet would you guys recommend for this? I just picked up one of these. Thanks.
Got mine on order
Debating on this vs. a Hughes & Kettner Tubemeister 18. This is a much newer product and everything, but I'm wondering if the direct sound of this amp is better than the Tubemeister 18's. Can't seem to find much more information on the matter, bah.
Hey *****. Give us a call at 800-222-4700. We'd love to be able to tell you a little more about the amp and provide some recommendations! Thanks!
***** I've tried both. The Peavey is much more scooped scounding. The TM18 is a hifi-rectifier sounding thing. Doesn't cut through the mix like the Peavey.
+Chris Thieblot This makes literally no sense. The more scooped the EQ is, the *less* it'll cut through a band mix.
reuben acciano I didn't say anything was scooped, did I? I was referring to both amps overall. The TM18 is much more thinner. If you want to say the Peavey is scooped, fine, but at least the lows and highs cut through.
dragonzrmetal I had the 6505+ 112 combo too. I went to a Mini Rectifier, and I use it on 10w mode all the time. PLENTY loud. Definitely go Peavey. Much more bass and character than the TM18.
Now this is a good useable wattage, unless your playing a stadium :-)
You're gonna be mic'd in a stadium anyhow
It's actually not as usable as the bigger ones. It's not like a Fender DRRi where you want some breakup. The 6505 gets all of it's gain from the preamp and you want to avoid poweramp clipping. That's why they're 120W. You want all the clean headroom you can get. Their master volumes work fine.
JELIFISH19 I actually meant for us home players and for somebody playing in a small club. 20W is all you need.
For home use, I get that. But a 20W EL84 amp for a small club with a heavy-hitting drummer (like most metal drummers) and a full band is going to be tough. You're going to push it pretty hard which means you're going to get loose and muddy power amp distortion. And that's not what you want from an amp like a 6505. It's perfect for an amp like an AC15 or a DRRi but not an amp that gets it's drive from the preamp. The 60W 112 combo is the best 6505 for a small club if you actually want something that sounds and responds like a 6505.
@JELIFISH19 If the drummer's too loud, HE/SHE is the problem.
Is this too hot for a straightforward punk sound? I'm into southern rock/punk, I could use a high gain amp, but I could also use some decent cleans and I don't need a super brutal tone. I'm more into sludgey, midrange tones, would this work?
Mikey McDowell Personally I wouldn't go for it if that's the case for you. The midrange on these amps are very tight, and many of the records people consider "brutal" were made by the big brother of this amp.
I wish the EVH 5150 III had switching options for the power amp. A single 6L6, triode wired in single-ended Class A, could yield 5W. Just imagine the option of gunning it like a 50's Fender Champ, but you still have that EVH preamp...
Sorry Peavey, it is just a recurring dream of mine.
Fender makes the 5150 III,not Peavey.
Slicklickz
I know: that is why I apologized to Peavey. I was reminded of what I want for the 5150 III (and pretty much all other amps) because this is a video about a lower watt 6505 (i.e. 5150).
If this is the remake of the Peavey EVH 5150, i'm assuming it would be a great amp for that eddie van halen sound yeah?
Im trying to find an amp that will give me his sound without the cost of an EVH amp
Mendelssohn Oliveira peavy classic 20 will do it
i might sound noob, but how do you controll the volume if there's no volume knob?
daan oudhuizen post-gain is channel volume. pre-gain is like normal gain.
Should have let Nick play this beast.
Which amp sounds more Brutal, the 6505 Mini or the new PRS MT15?
i have the mt 15 the mt15 uses full size 6L6 and 6, 12ax7s and it literally is god. this am0 has shitty el84 and theyre so fizzy hairy and fuzzy no matter what you push the amp with its just a horrible sounding amp
can anyone tell me how to get a decent metal sound with the usb in? Mine just sounds super muffled low end trash
+TheReal JoeRestifo You can't... You need a cabinet. I tried it too lol.
this will sound stupid, But where is the volume knob?
+Jay Sambuco, each channel: Rhythm and Lead, have their own output controls that are each labeled "Post-Gain." The controls labeled "Pre-Gain" are also volume controls, but they affect the input stage of the amp, creating more saturation, distortion, compression, etc. Ok, that's the long answer, but I wanted to make sure I covered it!
Thanks! Don Carr
+SweetwaterSound
What if I were to put the "post gain" very loud would that make my sound be distorted even on clean? Or does only "pre Gain" make the sound distorted?
Would anyone know how to mix this amp with mp3 back tracking.
my footswicth does NOT change the channel on mine, does nothing at all to the sound, Faulty swicth out of the box? bout to send this who thing back!
this or the Bugera G20?
Valveking cab?
I wish you could turn off the speaker simulation. It's a deal breaker for me.
what's the difference between this and the Valveking ii MH?
+Rick Ferguson (KarateRick) The 6505 can get more of a modern high gain sound. The valveking can get pretty heavy too it's just a bit of a different sound, also from what I've heard the valveking can get better cleans
Will the tubes break so fast that you need a warning LED?
Seriously, who needs to continuously monitor their tube health?
great marketing idea! Let's get the 2 dudes that have no idea what to do with this amp!
Hey Scott! :)
Does the footswitch can switch from clean to distortion?
Hi, Bothrops! Yes, the footswitch can be used to switch between the Clean channel and the Rhythm channel. It can also switch on the Crunch mode of the Rhythm channel so that you have three footswitchable sounds available to you. Thanks for your interest!
Charlie Davis, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1320
Sweetwater hi! It is possible to reach a clean sound?
Does it still hiss?
Or Peavey can just bring back the Rockmaster Tube preamp and the owner can use much better sounding power amp and cab sim.
micro head?
It would be cool, if the crunch switch was on the foot switch!
it is
anybody know if this is loud enough to gig with?
+alex Interested on such answer as well
+alex Mic the Cab,OR,Go into the Board with it,The emulated Out is KILLER.
+alex it definetly is. in 20watt and an 4x12 cab plugged in it is loud as hell. and if you need it even more loud, you still can mic the amp or use the emulated speaker output.
omg yngway molmsteen looks so young in this vid
perfect for the bedroom
what's the mic?
Thats an sm57
2:21 Do I hear Kiss there?
The 6505MH is going for $599 now....its not worth that much for a 20watt amp, that is made in China.
My only question is : is this lamp loud enough to play in a band even with a f*ckin' crazy drummer ??
Why in the HELL is this not made in the USA?
Wow impressive amp . At the price that it's at I'm wondering why you would want any other hard rock amp at that price range. . Makes blackstar look like crap!
Greg ginn used a peavey
I just bought this head used for $300
T1- green/good T2- green/good Don- red/ replace XD
made in china or usa?
Made in China.
I wajt one
dont understand. man play. where amp?
DO NOT BUY mine quit working after 6 months and my guitar techs stopped working a little over a year. Their costumer support is basically non existent. DO NOT BUY
SOUNZ AUSUME!
Love the amp but this format has hit to go. Too stiff and corporate. I'd like to see them kicking back, letting loose, talkingtrash, and just enjoying the gear. In other words, they should act like we all do. :-)
Why can't we make it in USA.. China made ? 👎
3:56 Made in China. Jesus Christ.
Gregrg7 It's a $500 tube amp. What do you expect? If it was built in the USA, it would probably cost the same as the full-size 120-watt 6505 ($1000).
Where are your cell phones, laptops, TV, game console, Cameras made? In Texas?
I don't plug my PRS Custom 24 into a TV or Game Console...
Gregrg7 Not all made in China things are crap :P
You made my day, Taco Jiminez.
Damn tiny but deadly and it even has standby.. Oh No.. manufactured in RED CHINA no thanks..
PRE CBS STRATOCASTER'S Americans want all their shit made in USA, but they're not willing to pay those prices. So then they bitch about Chinese made products. You send crappy components to China and you're going to get crappy products. You send good components, and you'll get good products. The idea that only an American can build a quality product is ridiculous. It's also usually the opposite. I'll never touch a Ford or a Chevy again.
@@knowwhey7559 so true- you are almost psychic with this comment.
Made in China, lol.
C H I N A
It's chinese, get a Mesa mini made in the USA!!
The minute you put a USB port on this amp, you have completely lost me! Why in the world would you do something so freaking stupid! I don't even care if it's practical at this point, you got to understand people in the market for these kinds of amps are purest!
I'd say the opposite - Peavey know their market here, as a lot of people buying these amps will be wanting to record them at home. This makes it very simple without going through a dedicated interface to record the amp directly into their computer then add speaker impulse responses to taste. The interface will be doing all it's stuff on a totally seperate routed channel at the end of the signal chain anyway so "purists" need not even acknowledge it.
sonicwingnut are you sure that you can use IR using the usb out? I think peavey included a speaker simulation that you can't turn off. So you can't use IR on top a cabinet simulation…
Bruno Nunes Not sure, I just bought the Laney IRT Studio because Peavey are apparently gonna take forever to get these things to the UK, very similar back panel to this and the cab sim select applies to both analog and USB outputs. Personally I just use the XLR DI output because I have a decent sound card. Definitely worth a look if you can't wait for this amp - more features, fully-valved, rack-mountable and I picked mine up for £245 on ebay.
